RAID User’s Guide

Intel Matrix Storage
The Intel Matrix Storage technology creates two partitions on each hard disk drive
to create a virtual RAID 0 and RAID 1 sets. This technology also allows you to
change the hard disk drive partition size without losing any data. You only need two
SATA hard disks to utilize this function.

RAIDm1
RAIDm1 (Reliable Access In a Disk by Mirror 1) is a new creative concept engi-
neered by VASSTEK. It provides RAID 1 robust and mature technology in one hard
disk to provide real-time data protection advantage.

2. Installing Hard Disks

Installing Parallel ATA hard disks
STEP 1: Refer to the hard disk documentation to set the jumpers of each hard disk

as master or slave.

STEP 2: Install the hard disks into the drive bays.
STEP 3: Connect the hard disk signal cables.
STEP 4: Connect a 4-pin power cable to the power connector on each drive.

Installing Serial ATA hard disks
STEP 1: Install SATA hard disks into the drive bays.
STEP 2: Connect one end of the SATA data cable to the motherboard’s one of

SATA connectors.

STEP 3: Connect the other end of the SATA data cable to one SATA hard disk.

Notes:

1. SATA_1/SATA_2/SATA_3/SATA_4 supports a RAID 0, 1, 5, 10 con-
figuration with the Intel ICH7R RAID controller.
2. SATA_5 can combine with an external Serial ATA port multiplier to
configure RAID 0, 1, 5, 10 and JBOD set through the onboard Silicon
Image 3132 SATA RAID controller.
3. VASRAID provides two modes for RIDE, RAIDm1 mode and ATA mode,
these 2 modes are set for Master device. For slave device, it is always
at ATA mode.
